#2764 - Nanju Clan

Hearing Jun Wuxie ask about her past, the gentle smile on Nan Zhi's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a touch of sadness in her eyes.

That sadness grew stronger and stronger, gradually filling her entire eyes.

"Yuan Chu, little brother, what era is it now?"

Nan Zhi knew that an extremely long time must have passed, but how long exactly, and what era it was now, she didn't know.

"It's the Eternal Life Era. I'm afraid that explanation won't mean much to Sister Nan Zhi.

Why doesn't Sister Nan Zhi tell me first, what era was it when you were around?"

"My era back then…"

Nan Zhi's expression was slightly dazed, and she gently shook her head, "The era I was in didn't have a named era; it was just called the Post-Ancient God Era.

After our era ended, later generations should have given our era a name."

"The Post-Ancient God Era? So, after the Ancient God Era ended, it was your era?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Later generations call your era the Primordial Era."

"Primordial… So later generations call our era the Primordial Era…

How long has it been since the Primordial Era?"

"Tens of millions of years. Counting forward from the current Eternal Life Era, there's the Ancient Era, the Middle Era, the Distant Era, the Chaotic Era, the Desolate Era, and the Primordial Era.

Each era, due to the invasion of darkness, lasts roughly five million years or so.

Plus, the current Eternal Life Era is also nearing its end, so calculating it, it's been about thirty million years since Sister Nan Zhi's era."

"Thirty million years… It's actually been so long…"

A sense of indescribable loneliness suddenly arose in Nan Zhi's heart.

Thirty million years, ah, how many times have the seas turned into mulberry fields?

Life is truly like a great dream.

To think that I would be revived again, having crossed such a long river of time, arriving thirty million years later…

Across tens of millions of years of time and space, everything from back then feels so distant to me.

I'm afraid that no trace of my clan can be found in this world anymore.

"Sister Nan Zhi, don't be sad.

Although it's been tens of millions of years since the Primordial Era, you still have us in this world."

Gong Jiuqing comforted her.

Actually, in terms of age, she was older than Nan Zhi; the era she was in was even more ancient than Nan Zhi's Primordial Era.

It's just that since Lord Divine King calls her Sister Nan Zhi, she naturally followed her husband's lead.

"Yes, with you, Chong'er and I won't be lonely.

It's just that suddenly learning that tens of millions of years have passed, I feel out of place in this era, and my heart is a little unaccustomed.

Since Yuan Chu, little brother, wants to know about my past, I'll tell you about it.

I come from the Nan Ju Clan.

Our Nan Ju Clan originated in the Ancient God Era. At that time, our population was small, and our bloodline wasn't strong, so we remained in a remote area.

It wasn't until the Primordial Era that the clan experienced better development, and many people with excellent bloodlines emerged.

Later, we learned that our Nan Ju Clan's bloodline was inherently strong, but it was difficult to awaken due to certain factors.

Even if someone awakened their bloodline, the degree of awakening was limited.

During the Primordial Era, after our clan produced several strong individuals, we completely solved the bloodline problem.

From then on, our Nan Ju Clan has been flourishing.

We didn't interfere in worldly affairs and remained secluded in a corner, and our resources were limited, so our final scale wasn't as large as many major clans, with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

At the end of the Primordial Era, the doomsday torrent began.

That era was our last invasion of darkness at the time.

If our Hunyuan collapsed, the entire world would fall into the hands of dark creatures.

My father, who was the clan leader at the time, Nan Ju King, decided after discussing with the clan elders to go to the borderlands and participate in the battle against the doomsday torrent.

Most of the clan's strong individuals followed my father to the borderlands, and I went too at the time.

Many people died in that torrent.

My clan's strong individuals had been fighting against the darkness for many years, and suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield.

I was also seriously injured at that time.

My father forcibly sent me back to the clan and passed the position of clan leader to me, and I became the new Nan Ju King.

I knew that my father wanted to use the responsibility of the Nan Ju King to prevent me from going to the borderlands.

For the sake of my clansmen, I had no choice but to stay.

In the following years, I received news from my father several times that the situation in the borderlands was becoming increasingly critical, and many strong individuals were sent there one after another.

At this point, none of my clan's strong individuals remained.

I also set foot on the battlefield for the second time.

In that battle, almost everyone died.

The vast borderland battlefield was covered with corpses.

I was lucky enough not to die and returned to the city to recuperate.

However, although we didn't win that battle, we killed a large number of dark strong individuals, laying the foundation for the final victory against the doomsday torrent.

I recuperated in the city for several months, but unfortunately, my injuries were too severe, and although I had recovered a lot, I was still unable to fully recover.

My father and the others all sacrificed themselves in that battle.

I needed to bring the news back, and the clan needed my comfort even more.

So I left the borderlands, thinking of comforting the clansmen before returning.

I never thought…"

Speaking of this, Nan Zhi's eyes turned red, her eyes were filled with tears, and she clenched the jade-like skin on the back of her hands, and the veins bulged.

Her body was trembling slightly, and her whole person exuded sadness, anger, pain, and hatred.

"What happened?"

Jun Wuxie's heart also sank.

He knew that this might be the reason why Sister Nan Zhi and Chong'er finally chose to bury themselves in the Feng Shui treasure cave!

"I… I returned to the clan… blood and bones everywhere, everyone was dead, the entire clan, not a single survivor!

They took advantage of the fact that my clan's strong individuals had died in the borderlands and invaded my clan, slaughtered my clansmen, plundered my clan's treasure vault, and stripped away the origin of my clansmen's bloodline!

I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at all at the time, and I was immersed in grief and anger, but I didn't expect that there were still powerful enemies lurking in the clan, and they succeeded in ambushing me.

Although I broke out of the encirclement and managed to escape, preserving my life, my injuries were aggravated as a result.

Later, I went into hiding, trying to repair my injuries, but I couldn't find a way.

The injury was gradually eroding my life, and I could feel that my days were numbered.

Relying on my cultivation, I could last for hundreds of years at most.

I don't know if anyone from our Nan Ju Clan escaped the massacre and survived, but I must not let the clan's bloodline be cut off, so I used a secret method to nurture Chong'er with my own blood essence.

Chong'er was my and the clan's only hope.

But, who would have thought that Chong'er was born with a Heaven's Severed Body due to my injuries and couldn't live past the age of four!

At that time, I felt like the whole sky had collapsed, and my and the clan's last hope was about to be cut off?

But I was not willing!

So I frantically searched for a way, and finally found the secret method of using a desperate situation to create a life-giving acupoint to nourish a glimmer of life.

That's the whole story. After we buried ourselves, we gradually lost consciousness, and when we woke up again, we had almost completely become evil spirits…"

"Outrageous!

Who was it, which forces attacked your Nan Ju Clan at that time?"

The anger and killing intent in Jun Wuxie's heart had already boiled over!

He couldn't tolerate this kind of thing the most!

He was about to explode with anger!
